I’ve been on the road quite a bit lately, plus am in the middle of the fall semester, so postings have been not as frequent as I would like. However, I’ve been progressing through the RKC Right of Passage, and today I tried out my new 28KG kettlebell.
This was a move up in weight for me, and today I did 5 sets of hard-style press ladders with 3 rungs with the 28KG kettlebell. I then did 7 minutes of swings with the 28KG kettlebell, 20 swings per minute, or 8642 pounds lifted in 7 minutes. Finally, I finished with 5 sets of 3 hard-style pullups.
I should also comment on the new kettlebell. There have been some discussions in the community about the fact that DragonDoor moved their kettlebell production offshore to China. While I understand there were some initial issues with quality, by now I think things are under control. At least the kettlebell I got seemed to be in good working order. The finish was a little different than my US-made kettlebell, but it did not cause any problems during my workout, and there were no seams or ridges to tear into my flesh. All the edges were smooth, and the weight and logo verbage was clear. So I was happy with my new DragonDoor kettlebell, and will buy another, once I am ready to move up in weight.
